Verse 1:

   A augmentedA
The girl comes from Lakeville
   A augmentedA
Her dad, he cuts hair
     C majorC    G+G         A augmentedA
It's a small town in the middle of nowhere

  A augmentedA
In tried and tested fashion
      A augmentedA
She took a plane and headed west
    C majorC     G+G      A augmentedA
To a city of neuroses, to the one that I love best

Did you think I couldn't feel it from 5,000 miles away?

That I wouldn't sense betrayal in the things you could not say?

Sierra bonita
A augmentedA
That you'll never be
     C majorC      G+G        A augmentedA
And I figure for that, you'll always hate me

   A augmentedA
But beauty is affliction
  A augmentedA
It scars me from the rest
    C majorC       G+G
I only wanted to be ordinary
     A augmentedA
To be no more, to have no less

Chorus:

       E MajorE
But did you think you wouldn't think of me
     D MajorD          A augmentedA
When you moved your hand down there?
   E MajorE
That he wouldn't think it strange
      D MajorD          A augmentedA
To run his fingers through your hair?
     E MajorE
It's the one thing that you want
       D MajorD         A augmentedA
The thing you know you'll never have
       DmDm
Three lonely people
        G+G
It's one sorry mess
